Hey Joe! Where you going with that gun in your hand?
Ha! Couldn't resist, the hoof and mouth sinfonia was great. Really cool hearing the DJ's perform. And you were great as the master of ceremonies. It was an awesome time.

I just read this headline on Yahoo, God help us. "thanks to Casey Abrams, I got to witness the first-ever Nirvana song on "Idol." That's a memory I'll keep in my heart-shaped box forever. "

There has not been a single fine levied, The very few that were issued during the height of the anti thought hysteria in the USA were thrown out by the courts. Don't take my word for it, search, read and dispel the popular myth, while killing the cop in your head. You can start at the FCC's web site. All the details are there.

Joe B:
so are you saying we should start cursing on the air and take our chances?

Thu. 3/17/11 12:59pm
dc pat:
well, I'm not sure but I really don't think FMU needs that headache--going to court just so Joe can say "tit"? It makes good strategic sense to just avoid cussin' for now don't you think?

good stuff, this

Winston, you've got to understand that, unlike the major media, FMU could not hire legal talent for a dispute without breaking its bank. It may seem like over-caution, but I really don't think they've got a viable choice.

Carmichael:
Well, I think there's a significant difference if you're announcing the name of a band called Wooden Tit, or if you're talking about some broad with big tits. Those FCC rubes were really going after the shock jocks, not the small independent alternative music stations.

The next thing you know, we'll not be able to say The Lords of Bukkake. How long, O Lord, how long?!?

WinstonSmith:
No, I'm not suggesting that you curse on the radio all day (although you can still legally do that all you like during the so-called "safe harbor" hours at night.) but the censorship has gone way too far. It has has had a profound chilling effect on our culture to the point where there is virtually nothing sexual or even political presented these days on stations like FMU. Listen to non commerical, community media from around there world and you can start to get a feeling for what the culture sounds like without the terrible restraints of the thought police imposed upon it. You'll start to get a sense of just what we've lost in the US.

They just have to be FCC-unimpeachable owing to potentially budget-ruining legal cost issues already mentioned above.
My guess would be that FCC-unsafe FMU content will show up more and more on the streams, just as FCC-dicey performers such as Stern have gone to non-broadcast outlets.

Had to go out for a meeting, so just checking in now... and looking at this playlist, I'll be revisiting this show once it's archived. Looks like a classic in the making!

The Times thing about chilton is from March 21st. Are you sure it is available yet to ordinary websurfers? The link didn't work for me, and a Times site search for "chilton wetsreberg" brought up nothing. Maybe subscribers get advance versions of some articles.

Times piece worked for me. Dated March 20, 2010.
Great show Joe!

JCJ:
Times link worked for me too. If you do that search, you have to go "advanced" because otherwise you're just searching the past 30 days. If you do that (and spell westerberg correctly, but I'm guessing that was just a typo here) it'll be the first link.

It doesn't show up via searches for "past x days" or "today" because it is from a future edition. Search "All results since 1851" and up it comes. Of course there is no search limiter called button "future articles only". -- Sheesh! Research skillz...

Thu. 3/17/11 2:30pm
JCJ:
It's not from a future edition, it's from a year ago. March 20,2010.

Times Piece needs a new time piece.

@TimesPiece, it is from last year, 2010, not this year, 2011. I copied and pasted the full link in my browser and it worked fine.
